+.RB [ -p
+.IR position ]
.RI [ title ]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B xmenu
.RI [ title ]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B xmenu
.B -i
option removes this space, making the menu narrower.
.TP
.B -i
option removes this space, making the menu narrower.
.TP
+.BI -p " position"
+Set the position to spawn xmenu.
+Without this option, xmenu spawns next to the cursor.
+.I position
+is a string of the form
+.BR INTxINT ,
+where the first INT is the x position and the second INT is the y position.
+.TP
.B -w
Asks the window manager to draw a border around the menus.
This option may be buggy in some window managers,
.B -w
